Tale-Rearers.

Hannah Moore had a good way of
managing tale-bearers. It is said
that whenever she was told any
thing derogatory of another, her in
variable reply was, "Come, we will
go and ask if this be true" The
effect was something l~udicrously
painful. The tale-bearer was taken
aback, stammered out a qualifca-
ton or begged that no notice might
be taken of the statement. But the
good lady was memorable. Off she
took the scandal-monger to the
scandalized to make inquiry and
compare accounts. It is not like
ly that anybody ever a second time
ventured to repeat a gossipy story
to Hannah Moore. One would
think her method of treatment
would be a sure cure for scandal.

IT l ana asked what women want
the ballot for, l answer; What do
men want it for? Why do the British
~orkmen at this moment so urgently
demand it? Look into the British
laws regulating labor, and you will
see why. They want the ballot be-
cause the laws affecting labor and
capital are made by the capitalist
class alone, and are therefore unjust.
I dc not forget the progressive legls-
1ation of New York in regard to
the rights of women. Upon this
point, one honorable gentleman asked
whether the laws both for men and
women were not constantly improv-
ing, and whether. therefore, it was
not unfair 10 attribute the character
of the laws about women to the fact
that men made them? The reply is
very evident. If women alone made
the Jaws. legislation for both men and
women would undoubtedly be pro-
gressiye. Does the honorable gentle
mat think, therefore, that women only
should make the laws?--Geerge VIII
liam Curtis.

NOT THE MAN FOR US.

The River ana harDor Dlli Iall-
ed. by reason of the Presidents
not signing it. Just why he did
not sign it, will probably be discov-
cred some day, but all the excuses
and reasons in the world will not
be able TO regain the ground lost
by Mr.. Cleveland by this act.
Even the reformers find it hard TO
pallIate this. The bill appropriate
ed the amount recommended by
the Secretary of war, S1O.OOO.OoO.
and some five or six hundred
thousand dollars that had been adj
ded to the bill by the Senate had
been scaled by the conference COM
mittee 50 as to keep the amount
down to the ten million recon-
mended, as it had been intimated
from the White House, that the
president would be gratified TO
to have the bill brought within that
amount, vet ne refused to sign it.
The River and HarbOr bill is the
special and particular bill that this
Valley is interested in, and when
that fails it is depressing in the ex
IRENE. The failure to sign another
bill, the General Deficiency, pre-
vents the River Commission from
getting their salaries, and they can
hardly be expected to serve for
nothing. Work on the River will
have to cease when the present
balances are expended. This
means the loss of a vast amount of
valuable property, which will be
destroyed if left in an unfinished
state, in which it is certain to be
left, and altogether the president
has done us a serious injury.
The matter of the Mississippi
River is, to us, of more conse-
quence, than any other one, or
even two or three things. The e.
nancial question is of much less
importance. The general prosper
ity of the country, if we took
selfish view is of less Importance,
for if we were protected against
overflow, we could he prosperous
in the face of almost any other ad-
versity, and the occupancy of the
presidential chair of democrat of
the Cleveland stripe, we could
very easily dispense with. 1t
would be well, in future, to know
certainly, how an aspirant for the
presidency stands on the river
matter, before we permit
our enthusiasm to rise, and should
he fail to meet our views we can
decline, mildly but firmly to en-
thuse. The importance of the
River is increasing all the time,
and we can very properly demand
that it shall be treated with the
it deserves.
